EVOLVE SmartProfile v11.0
What’s new in EVOLVE SmartProfile?
Major Enhancements
- Non-uniform tolerance zone
- Designated area support
- Improved Datum target editor
- Improvements in Data Preparation – export CMM-like Sampler parameters
- Reporting enhancements
- Improved and redesigned Help
- QIF import/export enhancements
Non-uniform tolerance zone
Non-uniform profile tolerance zone can be defined on extruded or revolved surfaces.
How to define non-uniform tolerance zone?
- Select an extruded or revolved surface and add Profile tolerance
- Check “Non-uniform tolerance zone” in FCF editor
- Give “from” – “to” tolerance values
- Select the zone start and end positions with the colored selector
- Add the required letters to start and end positions
Only status and the worst absolute percentage are reported for profile tolerances with non-uniform boundaries due to the zone is changing from point to point and reporting actual value would be misleading, because not necessarily the biggest actual value gives the worst result.
Details of the result can be seen in Result Points tab for every individual point. The followings are reported:
- Actual tolerance zone (-TOL and +TOL) according to the actual location within the non-uniform tolerance zone
- Actual deviation
- Signed percentage of the deviation in the tolerance zone of the point
Designated area support
- Designated area is a restricted portion of a feature.
- It can be imported from QIF files.
- Annotations such as datum targets, tolerances can be associated to designated areas.
- A designated area collects measured points from its source feature, but the source feature also uses these points for calculation.
- Designated areas are listed in the Features tree under their source feature.
Improved Datum target editor
- Datum target editor has been reworked and enhanced.
- New Shape selector has been introduced.
- Datum targets are listed in the Features tree under their source feature:
Reporting – Redesigned report items
The reporting module now delivers an enhanced user experience with improved visuals, increased readability, optimized compactness, and advanced customization capabilities.
Reporting – Redesigned report properties
Redesigned and modernized properties panel for report items.
Export CMM-like Sampler parameters
The applied CMM-like sampler parameters can be exported into .CSV or .TXT file format from Parameters panel.
Improved and redesigned Help
- Redesigned UI
- Improved Search function
- Restructured and reworked content
We hope the new features and improvements of EVOLVE Suite v11.0 will assist you to efficiently define, communicate, and monitor design intent across your manufacturing enterprise.
